A six-bedroom home that is within the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is for sale at a guide price of £950,000.
The home forms the eastern wing of Jane Walker Park, a Grade II listed property that was founded in 1901 by Dr Jane Walker as a sanitorium for the treatment of tuberculosis. Part of the treatment required fresh air and exercise, which explains the extensive communal grounds surrounding the property.
Inside is an entrance hall with wood flooring that runs the length of the property, off which there is a sitting room, kitchen/dining room, family room, utility and cloakroom.
The sitting room has a window range to the front and further bay window with fitted bench seat and views out to the south facing garden. The focal point of the room is a cast iron wood burning stove set on a black slate tiled hearth.
The kitchen is fitted with a matching range of bespoke, handcrafted wooden base units, with granite preparation surfaces over. Integrated appliances include a Miele dishwasher, as well as space for a three-door Rangemaster oven with seven ring hob.
The dining area has doors out to the front terrace.
The family room is versatile and is currently used as an additional dining space, with a seating and TV area at one end.
A utility room completes the ground floor, which has matching white gloss base and wall units, as well as space and plumbing for a washing machine/dryer and a freestanding freezer.
Stairs from the entrance hall lead to the first floor, which houses three bedrooms and a study.
The principal bedroom is a bright room with views overlooking the gardens. It also has a Victorian fireplace, a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom. The bathroom features a claw foot bath with shower attachment, a separate screened double shower unit, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.
Bedroom two also has an en-suite bathroom, as well as a fitted wardrobe, with bedroom three currently serving as a gym.
Further stairs on the landing lead up to the second floor, housing three more bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside, the home is approached by a gravel driveway that leads to the garage.

The terrace to the front has sweeping views across the communal lawns and gardens that include meadows, woodland and a children’s play area.

The grounds are tended by a maintenance company of which the owners are members.
